DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE HYDROCARBON JET FUELS

Abstract

Effort is reported to synthesize and evaluate some 50 to 100 hydrocarbon samples as potential high-temperature fuels for high-speed jet planes. Preparation involved alkylation, distillation, hydrogenation, and final rerun. Alkylating agents containing an ethylene linkage were alkylated with a variety of aromatics. In some cases, alkylating agents such as the aldehydes or diolefin hydrocarbons were used to link two aromatic molecules. Resultant fuels contained two cyclohexyl rings in each molecule. In addition, 38 alkylation reactions only were made for yield studies. (Author)
